The Combination Padlock is a metal lock opened with a number code. It is used to lock containers so stored gear stays secure.
It suits a survivor who wants a stash kept safe. The lock opens with a combination, so there is no key to lose. It is light and small, and it gives some scrap metal when melted down.
Combination padlocks are common in tool stores, janitor rooms and general stores.
Using
The padlock goes on a container to lock it. Once locked, the items and equipment inside are stored securely. Opening it needs the right number combination.
The plain Padlock does the same job with a key instead. It weighs the same and gives the same amount of metal. The choice comes down to a code to remember or a Padlock Key to carry.
Locations
Janitor toolboxes hold one about half the time. Pool lockers are another good spot. Tool stores keep them on counters, shelves and in small boxes. Janitor's rooms, school storage, gas station storage and Zippee storage counters hold them often too. General store shelves and storage turn them up regularly. Toolboxes found as loot sometimes hold one. Homes hold one only very rarely.
